I think the basics here are incredibly straightforward: the big thrust of the Biden campaign was "back to normal" and things...aren't back to normal!

I don't really think that's Biden's fault at all. And it's more than a little infuriating to watch Republicans hand off a once-in-a-lifetime crisis to the Democratic successor for the second time in the last 12 years, and then make political hay off the misery.

But the bottom line is this: if thins are...like this 11 months from now Democrats will get annihilated no matter what their legislative accomplishments or messaging are.

If, however, we come out the other side of winter with an economy with growing real wages, declining inflation, strong GDP growth and a virus that feels contained and behind us, Dems will have a fighting chance.
